Genes affected

SDHA (HGNC:10680): (succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A) This gene encodes a major catalytic subunit of succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, a complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The complex is composed of four nuclear-encoded subunits and is localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency known as Leigh Syndrome. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 3q29. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

The c.-3G>A variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the SDHA gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution 3 bases upstream from the first translated codon. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
